Lost Highway as a live experience?

That is exactly why I do NOT go to a 2008 show next year. As I would have gone to Munich (which is the nearest place they play here in my area) they always felt they had to do something "special" there as the Munich shows were usually the highlight of each German (or whole European) tour from 2000 onwards. Just look at the setlists. I was there at every Munich show they did and it was awesome. From playing almost 3hrs in the rain in 2000 until 2006 (where they did Dry County and These Days for example) the magic was there.

As I assume they will bring up LH stuff which is inevitable and they are about to country-up their stuff I would really destroy the memories of great shows from 2000-2006. And I also FEAR that the "Special thing" this time could be playing the whole LH album from start to finish. I heard LH songs live at the O2 and they bored the heck out of me (apar from AOD). So if I was there and they did this I would surely walk out of the stadium. So won't go out and "destroy my memories" which is a fitting title for this upcoming tour.

I also predict this European tour (if they really do it like in the US with country intros and fiddling and redoing their songs) is going to be a disaster as I am sure I am not the only one who thinks like that. This might be the last time you see BJ in a stadium in Europe. Mark my words!

Aloha !

Sure. You sound so convinced; Want to bet for 100 dollars that it won't be their last stadium tour in Europe?

I think that the last stadium tour anywhere (when it comes) will be heralded with so much hype it will make you gag. Their advertising will make damn sure that you know it's your last chance to see the band.

My opinion only

I'll think about it. Maybe a 10 $ will do

Like Kiss did back in 2000 as their "FArewell tour"

Give it a go, you might like the band. At the end of the day you are probably posting when any 2008 concert is on!!!!!!

I sure will - just to send my condolences for those attending. I rather sit at home and listen to good music

I wouldnt be so sure about this. Lets face it, ticket sales for this tour havent been too well and the album hasnt sold well either over here. Album sales as well as ticket sales as well as ticket sales have been declining slowly, but constantly too since 2000, allthough they are still on a comparably high level.
Then again, I wouldnt mind if they started playing arenas again, because I would love to finally see them indoors (and I dont mean stadiums with a closed roof like Gelsenkirchen or Düsseldorf).

they deffinatley need another big hit single and succesful album to get them back on track.... but i think that with a new greatest hits and another album to the same kind of success as hand/LH they could probably pull off another stadium tour just but yup...ther time is slowly running out its gotta be said!

wouldnt necaserily be a bad thing either if it did mean them playing arena's... possibly equaling more shows!

There will be at least 1 more World Tour, anyone betting against Seb on that would be losing their money

Check out the JBJ interview on the LH Live DVD. He says that yeah, tours are smaller, but while they still enjoy playing live then there'll be tours. I think they all say similar things.

There won't be any more Jersey Syndicate-esque touring - I'd but $100 on that
